Commendation: Despite having to repeat himself multiple times, Rock was able to keep a calm enough mind to organize the team and move them away from enemy artillery, on multiple occasions. Without Rock's constant commands and organization efforts Endgame Red would have been spread out and picked apart trying to take the second SA-2 site. - by Admin

Operation: Op Adored Widow - Convoy mission down to support the base at (insert name here). Multiple enemy rock formations close by, so we went to murder them. Mostly with artillery.

12 Aug 2022
Operation: Op Vital Stretch - The unusual CIA operatives from Operation Stove Turnip tasked Endgame Red with a psychological warfare operation: to locate four religious idols from the local tribespeople and use them to complete a ritual at altars scattered through the swamp. This would, they claimed, demonstrate US dominance and bring the local tribes back on-side (they having absconded with the weaponry supplied to win their affections to date). Unfortunately for Endgame Red, not only were the local tribespeople not keen to relinquish their idols, but the North Cheltenamese had sent Chelt Cong forces to secure the idols as well, and the People's Republic of Cambridge had sent a combat group as well, apparently not keen on their North Chelt allies from doing whatever they planned with the idols either. The CIA operatives, who were very slow-spoken, seemed keen for this all to be over, so that they could ask Roosevelt to let them come home, as they were especially curious to see if the war in Europe had been won yet and how the Normandy landings had gone.
Commendation: Just being an all around cool squad leader - by Admin
Commendation: Solid squad leadership, but especially for IMMEDIATELY moving the squad out of the CIA village on hearing the agents were dead, while calling back to the time Lynch had us bombed at ENDEX. - by Admin

Operation: Op Strange Repair - Continuing the mission to find and destroy the artillery park. Which we did. And then a lot of people got shot and dragged off by Chelt to places unknown...
Medal: Silver Star Medal
Reason: Awarded Silver Star for single-handed assault on heavy artillery position west of Con Ho in order to allow the shattered platoon to regroup and gather and treat wounded. GySgt Rock was retrieved wounded from the site with all but three of the enemy defenders neutralised (by Admin)
Commendation: Singlehandedly assaulting the artillery park like a GD hero. - by Admin
Commendation: Hammer found rock mortally wounded on the edge of the artillery park surrounded by numerous dead chelt, it appeared as if he had led a one-man assault on the position almost single handily naturalizing and clearing the position, in doing so he brought time and breathing room for the rest of endgame red who were at the time dealing with various injuries rendering them combat ineffective to be brought back into the fight and continue the assault to clear the position and recover rock for treatment. - by Admin

Operation: Op Magnificent Rutabaga - Seek and destroy a SAM site to the west of Dak Pek SF camp. Multiple launchers and a pair or radars to be found and denied to the enemy.
Commendation: GySgt Rock displayed a level of navigation skills unsurpassed by anyone else in the team, perhaps even surpassing that of -everyone- else in the team combined. Without his dedication to map work the unit woul dhave been lost several times over and likely still wondering around the Cheltnam hills to this day. - by Admin

Operation: Op Bin Contest - Mission to try to rescue the POWs from the previous mission. Parachute in, then move in through the jungle to the POW camp.
Medal: Bronze Star Medal (1 Gold Star)
Reason: Awarded Star to Bronze Star for leadership during escape from Chelt captivity after capture during the assault on a mountain fortress (by Admin)
Commendation: Calm leadership as we broke out of the PoW camp armed only with our wits and whatever we could loot from the enemy as we downed them. GySgt Rock turned what could have been the complete loss of Endgame Red into a successful mission by leading his troops in not only breaking themselves out of captivity, but also managing to rescue the PoWs they'd been sent in for in the first place. Also excellent map reading skills to regroup the unit after the initial parachute jump. - by Admin

Operation: Op Soothing Marsh - Infantry sweep and clear of pockets of resistance left behind after a failed Chelt attempt to force a river crossing.
Commendation: Clear direction of fireteams, with exactly the right amount of tactical information conveyed to get everyone on target, on mission, on time. 1stSgt Rock continually provides the aggression and operational thinking to keep Endgame Red moving forward while the officers are given time to think about the larger strategic picture, and is an example of the finest traditions of USMC NCO leadership. - by Admin
